Trinity League title decided tonight. I'll be there.
Bosco takes tonight's match 36-19. Lots of very close matches but the Braves held the decisive edge and earned the league title.

Until last night's FV / Los Al match, I haven't been to a HS wrestling match since when I was in HS.
Fun stuff.

Bosco takes the CIF Dual Meet title. Servite led 20-0, only to see Bosco storm back to take the match. Pretty similar overall score to the earlier dual meet in January.

CDM notched there best wrestling season since I was in high school.....  Congrats to this kid for 4 years of hard work, it payed off!High School Male Athlete of the Week: Emilio Franco helps CdM wrestling make a big jump Corona del Mar’s Emilio Franco helped the Sea Kings win the CIF Southern Section Division 6 dual meet wrestling championships on Feb. 1 at Perris Orange Vista High.

When Emilio Franco and his family moved from Mexico City to Newport Beach when he was in seventh grade, he searched around for an after-school wrestling program for boys his age.
He came knocking at the door of Mark Alex, and the first instinct of the Sea Kings’ wrestling coach was to tell him that he did not yet have the experience to join right away.
“My dad [Abidan] had to talk to him and tell him, ‘Oh, no. He does jiu-jitsu. He has been doing it since he was 9,’” Franco said. “Since then, he gave me a shot, Mark did, with this other kid, Jack Thompson.”
Franco and Thompson became training partners, and each would find success along their journey.
In 2018, the Sea Kings made a big jump as a program, qualifying for the CIF Southern Section Southern Division dual meet wrestling championships as an at-large selection by placing second in the Pacific Coast League.
While Franco was home-schooled that year, Thompson, a 152-pound wrestler, became one of 10 Sea Kings to qualify for the CIF individual wrestling championships through the Pacific Coast League finals.
It showed that the program was on the rise. Missing interacting with his friends, Franco returned to campus for his sophomore year, and he immediately became one to watch.
